QUIET AT SPRING VALLEY. Troubla U All Over Unlen the Negro Miners Shanlil Return. Spuing Vaixky, Ills., Aug. ft —The situation was very quiet last night. The mines are being worked today. Yesterday afternoon a few negro women were allowed to pack up their goods and de- | part. One hundred negroes, who left this city Sunday, are at Seatouville. Many of them stent in the woods. The mayor contemplated putting in a few deputies, but the situation is so calm that this will not be necessary. The man Role, who was shot and robbed by 'colored men Saturday night, is still j alive, but cannot live long The coal l company officials begin to feel alarmed, as a dynamite bomb was found near Manager DalzelTs residence yesterday, and there is no clew as to who dropped it there, bnt it is generally believed that it has been there since Sunday, when the crowd visited Mr. Dalzoll to demand of him the discharge of all ne-

groes.

Meetings have been held by the colored men of Chicago and Peoria debouncing thi action of the Soring Valley im b, and it is said some of the hotheaded ones want to march to Bureau county and take a hand in the war.

FIRE AT CINCINNATI. ; Two Wharf Routs nn«l Two Steamers Are a Total I.Osh, Cincinnati, Aug. 8.—Yesterday afternoon lire was discovered in the Cincinnati wharf boat. It soon threatened everything on the public landing and in port. The conflagration lasted less than an hour, burning two large wharf boats and two steamers, the Big Kandy and the Carrollton, and causing a loss of over tjtlOO.OOO. The fire swept everything in its reach. The whole department was out, but it could only prevent its spreading to other craft iu the harbor. Ail the loss falls on the Cincinnati and Louisville Mail Line company. Several persons were injured, but all will recover. Defender the Better Newport, R. I., Aug. n.—The Defender and Vigilant sailed over a ttS 1 ,- mile course yesterday from Cottage City, Mass., to this port, the rme being an event in the cruise of the New York Yacht club. The sea was smooth and the wind varied in velocity from 10 to 15 miles an hour. For 20 miles, down to the Vineyard Sound lightship, it was a dead heat to windward, and the De fender beat the Vigilant by about 5' 5 minutes. ( h: the stretch thence to Newport the Defender gained enough to make her elapsed time from start to finish !*:09 better than the Vigilnut’f.

Finally Mr. Rodenbaugh told him the room was very nice until he had occupied it. This enraged Lane a id made

him more violent.

Just then James Rodenbaugh, aged 22, son of the proprietor, and a cripple, came iu with a revolver in his hand and addressing Lane, said: “Get out of here, you shall not abuse my old father in that way! ” Lane quickly drew and fired, sending the hall through the young man's neck, eutting the jugular vein. As James Rodenbaugh led he fired at Lane. His aim was unsteady and the ball barely grazed Lane's left breast, plowing along the side. More furious than ever, Lane rushed up to

It is said that there are many alleged race horses at the Roby track practically eating , their heads off, and that the only relief their owners see in the future is the three truck scheme.
